She positively must have a Masters in wordsmithing I feel!!!"Hey, no fair - (And the one in mod meeting was off the top of my head - this is a YA group; I will be good.) But I promise, just one entry. Okay?
hehehe ok.. maybe just one... (although Sammy has been quite on this front!!)

I love limericks just suck at writing them..There was a young man from Nantucket....
Then I get stuck.
I can finish that one in my head, but not in a YA-approved way ;)
Kaje wrote: "I can finish that one in my head, but not in a YA-approved way ;)"Me too... LOL
Oh dearI tried to write limericks
but alas my mind is somewhere slightly below gutter level this evening and nothing I came up with was remotely suitable (or in fact made sense)
(I blame this on having to go out and celebrate with my Welsh friends this afternoon/evening after the rugby)
I've got lots, but my page proofs for my book are screwed up, and besides the other mods are being mean and making me choose just one. So I'll be back later to post one.

JK - hey I can finish Elci's and it doesn't count, right? 'Cause it's Elci's.There was a young man from Nantucket
Sang off-key with his head in a bucket
Too much brogue and green beer
For his pub-mates to hear
That pail rang like a gong when they struck it.
So I had to do two - but it's not like I'm inhibiting anyone else - folks must be off toasting St. Pat's with more than words.She sang on the while cliffs of Dover
As she searched for a rare four-leafed clover
She makes this girl's heart soar
And I'll love her still more
When St Patrick's Day nonsense is over.
It means brew pubs and dancing and beer
But we've stayed locked at home every year
Now at last we'll go see
My sweet soldier and me
What St. Pat's Day is like without fear

Thanks Kaje... You're the bestest.
You guys are just lucky I've been working on my proofs for nine hours and still not done. Because there are other rhymes for Nantucket that are PG too. :)
LOL I don't suppose you posted the non pg ones in another group somewhere? This is all knew to me so I have never heard any before lol
My internet was down most of yesterday--and I missed posting this--so Happy day after St. Pat's Day everyone!There once was a group who loved fiction
But wanted less man on man friction
They made up a group
giving nasty the boot
And now share their YA addiction!

That is awesome, I love it!
It's a contest, bless yer souls! Post your Limericks here on March 17th!
The winner will receive......
Our heartfelt congratulations and "job well done" pat on the back!
(What you were actually expecting a prize?--silly members!!)
The RULES: Well, er...there are none--EXCEPT--it has to be PG and believe it or not there is a "form" that true limericks follow--see below:
A limerick is a five-line poem written with one couplet and one triplet. If a couplet is a two-line rhymed poem, then a triplet would be a three-line rhymed poem. The rhyme pattern is a a b b a with lines 1, 2 and 5 containing 3 beats and rhyming, and lines 3 and 4 having two beats and rhyming.
See our award winning Limerick artist (Kaje) example here:
'Tis the luck of the Irish they say
And the whole world is Irish that day
When I saw red-haired John
With his green sweater on
I thanked God and St. Patrick I'm gay
OR
He went out to the pub to be seen
Found a party and beer that was green
Danced a jig in his dress
With his wig in a mess
Singing "What a good night to be Queen"
So, get those thinking caps on and remember--NO POSTING until March 17th!
